We used to do our training camps in Kelowna, which I found to be an idea location for cycling, but that was at the end of March. In February, it might be pushing things, as even the March weather wasn't always worth travelling for (thankfully the mountains were - stupid prairies!)

If you're going for a training camp in Feb, without breaking the bank (important to kids & families), then I'd go for Arizona.

February is almost upon us here. I was supposed to conduct a tour of a new office building under construction, but it was -35 degrees, so the site was shut-down due to unsafe conditions. The point is, February is the wrong time for a Canadian camp. We go to Arizona, California or Hawaii.

You didn't say where you're coming from and how much money you have. Both would be useful pieces of background info. If you're in the prairies or west, Arizona is probably the best choice. Victoria can be OK but can also be rainy or windy. Better chance of good weather than Calgary, Edmonton or Winnipeg but still risky and I can remember my kid going to Victoria for a February training camp when it snowed but was 20C in Calgary.

I don't know what to suggest if you're in the east but Arizona is a long and probably expensive flight.

I am from Vancouver and will say that the riding there in February can be quite good. Obviously later in the month is preferable. I am planning a trip for March and expect the weather to be quite good.

Victoria is also another good alternative. Victoria gets about half the annual rain that Vancouver gets and has great roads. It’s a popular training destination for a lot of Canadian cyclists.

If you’re driving, and not flying, the nice thing is that you can follow the weather a bit. You can start in Van and if the weather is good stick around, if it’s not your just a ferries ride away from Victoria. From a tourist standpoint both cities have loads to offer, Vancouver especially, from a cycling standpoint the argument could be made they are 2 of the 5 best cycling destinations in Canada bar none.
